An early Monday morning incident closed all four lanes of Lincoln
Parkway between Woodlawn Road and Fifth Street.
A tractor-tanker identified by their signage as being
manned by Bolt Express of Havana and containing flammable liquids
slid off the road near the under-construction entrance to the new
Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
City police, state police and city of Lincoln firefighters were
on hand along with RBC Towing, working to upright the truck and get
it back on the road again.
City firefighters are trained hazmat specialists and
were on hand in that role. There has been no official report
regarding this incident. Lincoln police Chief Ken Greenslate
said the driver has been ticketed.
